PLEASE HELP!!!! 3.32 GPA, what are my chances/some schools that are fit for my situation?
Hello!
I am a second semester African American senior interested in applying to medical school but my low GPA has me at a crossroads on how to go about it. Here are my stats so far:
Major: biology with concentration in cell and molecular biology
Minor: psychology
3.32 cGPA
My gpa at my university is 3.28 but that is without the credits I transferred. I took organic chem 1 and 2 at a community college over the summer and got A’s in both therefore this 3.32 GPA is after...

Extra Curriculars Help
Hello!
I am on my 6th year of college (I switched to the pre-med route after 2 years of nursing pre-requisites). Unfortunately, I apply to medical schools in 2021 next year, and I do not have any volunteering experiences. I spent way too much time on my grades.
Stats:
4.0 GPA (could change this semester from Organic Chemistry 2)
(I graduate in December of 2020)
MCAT: will take it January of 2021
EC: 2.5 years...

Transcript Question
During my sophomore year, I received a C- in organic. I am currently retaking that course. Also during my sophomore year, I took another chem course with 3 credits for the class and 1 credit for the lab. I took a W for the lab. I was extremely busy the fall of sophomore year and didn't spend as much time as I should have studying. That spring, I got my priorities in order, dedicated more time to studying, and improved as a student. I will be applying to medical school in this upcoming...

Very nervous about taking the DATand applying...help
I am a junior undergrad student who plans on taking the DAT and applying this upcoming summer(2020). I am a very good student overall however I experienced severe burnout the last 2 semesters which thankfully only had a slight effect on my GPA. I looked over a few sample DAT tests and questions to gauge how much I knew but sadly it wasn't very much. I believe that I can obtain high scores in Bio, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and PAT with enough practice. However, organic...

Potentially Taking Organic Chemistry Online
I am looking into taking organic chemistry I and need to take it this coming semester to be on track for my course plan. All of the organic chemistry spots are full at my school, and I am wondering if taking it online would be something that could work.
The med schools I am interested explicitly state that they will accept online courses so long as I do the lab in person. The issue I have right now is whether an online course would be more difficult than an in person course. I actually...

Current BSN student applying to DO and MD
Hey everyone ! So I know this post might be long but if anyone could take time out of their day to read it would make my day!
So I started college as a RPE medical student and finished biology 1 & 2, Gen chem 1 & 2, organic 1, physics 1, and all the general education things. At this point in time I still need organic 2, biochem, and physics 2. I have one semester left before I graduate with my bachelors of science in nursing.
My overall GPA stands at a 3.54. I am also the Vice President...

Biochemistry needed beforehand?
Hi everyone!
I was recently accepted to Scholls program and am planning on starting in August. I have to finish my organic chemistry II course in the spring.
I have not taken Biochemistry yet. I studied full time this past summer for the MCAT and spent a good amount of time going over Biochemistry to compensate for not having taken the course. Would you recommend I take Biochemistry before I start Podiatry school? Is it a severe disadvantage to not already taken an undergrad Biochemistry...

Should I retake classes to boost my gpa?
Hello I have a couple questions that I am struggling with with regards to my path of pre dental. I am currently a sophomore and my gpa is not great. When looking at my pre reqs for dental school I received Cs in both of my gen chem classes, a BC in my gen bio, a C in gen bio II, C in organic chem I and a D in genetics( which I am planning on retaking) I have an overall gpa of roughly a 2.9-3.0now with this semester done. I am currently working as a dental assistant and have been for over 6...

Hi, I just need some honest truths (19M, sophomore, Texas A & M)
Biology I: C
Biology II: C
Chemistry I: B
Chemistry II: B
Organic Chemistry: B
Science GPA now: 2.71/3.5
Potential Science GPA from listed courses: 3.38/3.5
I'm so disappointed in myself. I just want to cry. I have just finished my third semester in college, and I haven't made a single A in my science courses. I keep telling myself that I can, and I still know that I can, but it's just so frustrating. In Texas, you need at least a 3.5 science GPA to have your foot in the door, and it's not...

OptomCAS Application Q's for MCPHS
"Please explain any F's, D's, W's, or leaves of absences that appear on your transcript(s)."
Hi, can anyone help me find out how to answer this? I want to ensure I use the correct wording:
I only have a D from Organic Chem I & a W in Statistics just because I didn't understand. I later took it and passed the following semester.
Any comment is much appreciated! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Recently graduated PA wanting to apply to MD/DO programs next cycle
Hi all - I have logistical questions in regards to applying for medical school in the upcoming cycle.
1. Prereqs - I graduated from undergrad in 2012 (have enough bio and general chem courses, but only took one organic chem and one physics course) - do I need to update any of these? Would you recommend I take a second Ochem and Physics to increase my chances of getting in somewhere?
2. Stats - I had a 3.6 cGPA in undergrad, 3.4 sGPA, 4.0 from Duke's PA program - are these competitive...

Chances of getting into Vet School, specifically University of Florida
Hello everyone, im currently a sophomore and I'm having a very tough semester with organic chem 1. I need to ace the final to end the class with a B and if I get anything lower I will end the class with either a B- or a C. Will a grade like a C or B- kill my chances? Along with my full time class schedule I work two jobs part time, about 20-25 hours a week at times, along with the student government position i have as well. In mu other classes I have As and a B so far this Semester. Along...

Organic chemistry 1 and 2 during summer
I am planning on taking organic chemistry 1 and 2 this upcoming summer. This is because:
- the professor is the best in the chem department, have heard nothing but amazing things from other people who have taken it with him, everyone highly recommended it
- o chem is not required for my major, so I have to figure out another time to avoid cramming during semesters
However, after reading on this forum, it seems like many people say that taking summer classes is looked down upon by...
